I don’t like when I start overly identifying with Plath.

Anonymous asked: what are your all time favorite books and for what reason(s) are they your favorites? I'm looking for a good book to read! thank you
Tough question! I have a few:
- Perks of Being a Wallflower. I read this last year and it was a quick read, had some depth, and was very nostalgic for me/the way I felt in high school and college.
- The Bell Jar. This one is another one that I think was so great because of how I was feeling at the time in my life (I was in a weird funk/depression). Sylvia Plath was a talented writer and I related a lot to the main character leading up to the climax of the book (then our paths differed, fortunately).
- Divergent (by Veronica Roth). It’s a YA dystopian book, and I read it in about 24 hours over winter break. It’s well written, gripping, and a super quick read. It’s the first in a series, and I haven’t been able to read the next one yet because it just came out, but I will get it soon.
- Flowers for Algernon. Just a really interesting read.
- anything by Dan Brown. They’re very addicting.
I hope that helps!
